Psalms 138:6

⁵Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high, ⁶who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?

⁷The LORD makes poor and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up. ⁸He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill to make them sit with princes and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s. He has set the world on them.

¹⁵For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

³⁴Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.

⁶But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

²For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says the LORD: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.

¹¹For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

³⁷Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.

⁴⁸for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.

¹⁴I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
